She was too lazy to dress up, so she simply walked to the brothel's entrance dressed as a woman.
It was almost evening now, and the red lanterns at the entrance of the brothel were lit, which meant that the girls had already started to receive customers.
In Kyoto, there are all kinds of people, and there are also women who come to visit brothels to see something new, but most of them dress up.
Therefore, the brothel madam was a little surprised when she saw a good-looking woman walking over at the door.
"Girl, did you come to our brothel for business?"
Before Qin Rushuang could say anything, Xie Xun walked up first and stood between the madam and Qin Rushuang.
The madam had a very strong smell of inferior rouge. He didn't like it and didn't want Qin Rushuang to be infected with this smell.
"Excuse me. My wife is very curious about brothels, so I brought her to learn more about them."
The brothel boss just felt that the forest was really big and there were all kinds of weird and weird people there.
This was the first time she saw her husband visiting a brothel with his wife.
Seeing that the brothel madam didn't say anything, Xie Xun took out the banknote from his arms and stuffed it into her hand.
"I know it's inconvenient for me to take my wife with me. Is this enough?"
When the madam saw the banknote, she didn't have any reason to refuse. She quickly changed her smile and welcomed the person inside.
"Quick, quick, quick! You two distinguished guests!"
As she walked away, she explained to Xie Xun, "Since the distinguished guests are here with their wives, how about I order a few clean women who only do business but not their bodies to serve you two?"
Xie Xun nodded and expressed his satisfaction, so the madam went ahead to call the girl.
Later, Qin Rushuang smiled and looked at Xie Xun, "Didn't the prince say that he would leave all the money to me for safekeeping? Why do you still have private money?"
Xie Xun said sternly: "This is my last personal money. I have used it to take my wife to visit the brothel. When I go back later, my wife will have to allocate some more pocket money to me, otherwise I will go with them some other time."
I don’t have any money for drinking anymore.”
Xie Xun's voice was not too quiet, and the brothel madam who was walking in front naturally heard it.
Seeing that the guest had no intention of avoiding her, she simply turned her head and said to Qin Rushuang with a smile, "This young master really loves his wife."
Qin Rushuang turned away and said nothing.
The madam quickly found two girls for them.
Qin Rushuang seized the opportunity and asked the two girls: "Wasn't this brothel closed down before? Why did it open again?"
One of them smiled and said, "You don't know what our guests know. The previous owner did commit a crime, so the brothel was closed down. Later, the new owner bought this place. Don't worry, all the rules are in accordance with the government's requirements. It's no longer the case."
It’s what it used to be.”
Qin Rushuang asked again who the boss behind the scenes was, but the two girls naturally didn't say anything.
Maybe I don’t want to say it, maybe I don’t know.
In short, Qin Rushuang didn't expect anything to come out, she just came in to see if she could find any clues.
Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun sat and listened to a song for a while without drinking the wine in the brothel. Before they were about to say goodbye and leave, the madam actually found Xie Xun with a small silver note.
"The two distinguished guests did not stay here overnight and did not order wine. These are the extra coins."
Xie Xun raised his eyebrows and said, "This is the first time I've seen people entering a brothel and getting their money back. Your boss is very kind in doing business."
The old bustard smiled and said: "If you think our place is good, you can deposit your money with us. You will remember clearly how much you spend. The remaining money can be used in our major brothels in the East City."
Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun looked at each other.
It’s the same routine as the gambling house again!
Perhaps the person behind this is really the mysterious person who unified the lower-tier industries in Dongshi.
After asking for the news they wanted, Qin Rushuang and Xie Xun left the brothel and returned to Prince Huai's Mansion before dark.
As soon as I returned to Prince Huai's Mansion, my buttocks were still not hot from sitting down, someone came to report. Aunt Yinghong from the palace asked to see her.
Now Emperor Qi is seriously ill and the palace is under martial law. In order to avoid suspicion, the concubines in the harem hardly move around and no outsiders are allowed to enter the palace.
The imperial concubine sent Aunt Yinghong to convey a message at this time. There must be something important.
"Let Nanny Yinghong come in quickly."
After a while, Grandma Yinghong came to the living room accompanied by the old housekeeper.
Qin Rushuang quickly ordered her servants to bring a stool for Grandma Yinghong to sit down.
Grandma Yinghong didn't refuse either.
She came in a hurry. After sitting down, she took a sip of tea and said, "I wonder if the prince and the princess are free today? The princess has something important to ask you to come to the palace."
Qin Rushuang looked at the sky. It was already dark now. Why would they suddenly be allowed to enter the palace?
So he asked, "What can you say about the queen mother?"
However, Grandma Yinghong shook her head and was very confused, "The imperial concubine did not tell this servant what happened. She only asked me to come and invite the princess and the prince as soon as possible."
Qin Rushuang's heart tightened, and she didn't even tell Aunt Yinghong. It must be a very important matter, or maybe it happened suddenly and the imperial concubine had no time to tell Aunt Yinghong.
Or maybe... I'm afraid that people will be too blind, so I don't even dare to tell Grandma Yinghong!
Thinking of this, Qin Rushuang, who had not eaten yet, immediately stood up and wanted to follow Grandma Yinghong into the palace.
In the end, Xie Xun pulled her back and asked, "Mother and concubine, do you think this matter must be discussed with me today?"
Grandma Yinghong was stunned for a moment and said: "That's not true. The princess only asked the prince and the princess to go as soon as possible, but she didn't say it had to be today."
Xie Xun nodded and said, "Then if you go back to your mother, tell us that we will go early tomorrow and not go today. I took Rushuang out today and I am a little tired after walking for a day."
Aunt Yinghong didn't waste any time, got up and left the palace, going to the palace to spread the message.
After Aunt Yinghong left, Qin Rushuang couldn't help but said, "I'm not very tired, just in case there is something important for Queen Mother..."
"Then don't worry about it for a while." Xie Xun interrupted her, "You should have a good dinner now and then take a good rest."
After Xie Xun's reminder, Qin Rushuang felt that her calves were a little sore.
It seems that after driving the coachman back today, they walked for a long time. They hadn't done this for a long time, so their legs were a little unaccustomed.
Since the renovation of the palace has not yet been completed, the side courtyard that Qin Rushuang said he wanted to set aside has not yet been built, so Xie Xun can only sleep in Qin Rushuang's main courtyard tonight.
At night, Qin Rushuang asked the little girl to get some hot water and let her soak her feet.
She sat on the chair and closed her eyes to relax. After a while, the door was pushed open and Qin Rushuang said with her eyes closed: "Just soak your feet here."
The little maid didn't answer, but brought a basin of hot water to her, and then carefully took off her shoes and socks.
The temperature of the water in the basin was just right, a little hotter than usual, which could relax her muscles and make her feel very comfortable.
Qin Rushuang closed her eyes and felt the little maid pinching her feet, but she didn't know if it was her imagination. The force of the little maid today was much stronger than usual, but it didn't hurt, but was very comfortable.
Qin Rushuang couldn't help but praise: "You did a good job today."
As soon as she finished speaking, a chuckle suddenly came from beside her: "Thank you, Princess, for the compliment. If your service is good, Princess, can you give me some extra monthly money?"
Qin Rushuang immediately opened her eyes.
There was no maid in the room. The person pressing her feet was clearly Xie Xun.
